The CHASNUPP-1 is a single-unit. The unit is of 300 MW and includes a two loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) furnished by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The nuclear island and conventional island of the plant utilizes proven design, similar to that of the Qingshan Nuclear Power Plant (QNPP) in China. The systems and the major equipment of the nuclear island, including the NSSS, are designed by Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI), and the system of the conventional island are designed by East China Electric Power Design Institute (ECEPDI).
Construction of plant started in 1993 and was made operational in year 2000. Since then it has gone three fuel changes. By third quarter of 2005 it has produced 9074 Giga Watt-hour of electricity. Its average capacity and availability factor for year 2004-05 were 93 % and 96.4 % respectively.
